SUMMARY:
CITIELITE VARIABLE ANNUITY
THIS SUMMARY DETAILS SOME OF THE MORE IMPORTANT POINTS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW AND
CONSIDER BEFORE PURCHASING THE CONTRACT. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE PROSPECTUS
CAREFULLY.
CAN YOU GIVE ME A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACT? The
Contract offered by First Citicorp Life is intended for retirement savings or
other long-term investment purposes. The Contract provides a death benefit as
well as guaranteed payout options. You direct your payment(s) to one or more of
the variable funding options and/or to the Fixed Account. We guarantee money
directed to the Fixed Account as to principal and interest. The variable funding
options are designed to produce a higher rate of return than the Fixed Account;
however, this is not guaranteed. You can also lose money in the variable funding
options.
The Contract, like all deferred variable annuity contracts, has two phases: the
accumulation phase and the payout phase. During the accumulation phase
generally, under a qualified contract, your pre-tax contribution accumulates on
a tax-deferred basis and is taxed as income when you make a withdrawal,
presumably when you are in a lower tax bracket. During the accumulation phase,
under a nonqualified contract, earnings on your after-tax contribution
accumulates on a tax-deferred basis and is taxed as income when you make a
withdrawal. The payout phase occurs when you begin receiving payments from your
Contract. The amount of money you accumulate in your Contract determines the
amount of income (annuity payments) you receive during the payout phase.
During the payout phase, you may choose to receive annuity payments from the
Fixed Account or the variable funding options. If you want to receive payments
from your annuity, you can choose one of a number of annuity options or income
options.
Once you choose one of the annuity options or income options and begin to
receive payments, it cannot be changed. During the payout phase, you have the
same investment choices you had during the accumulation phase. If amounts are
directed to the variable funding options, the dollar amount of your payments may
increase or decrease.
WHO MAY PURCHASE THIS CONTRACT? The Contract is currently available for use in
connection with (1) individual nonqualified purchases; (2) rollovers from
Individual Retirement Annuities (IRAs); and (3) rollovers from other qualified
retirement plans. Qualified contracts include contracts qualifying under Section
401(a), 403(b), or 408(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Purchase of this Contract through a tax qualified retirement plan ("Plan") does
not provide any additional tax deferral benefits beyond those provided by the
Plan. Accordingly, if you are purchasing this Contract through a Plan, you
should consider purchasing this Contract for its Death Benefit, Annuity Option
Benefits, and other non-tax-related benefits.
You may purchase the Contract with an initial payment of at least $5,000, which
amount may be paid in one or more installments of at least $100 within the first
12 months after the contract date. You may make additional payments of at least
$100 at any time during the accumulation phase.
IS THERE A RIGHT TO RETURN PERIOD? If you cancel the Contract within twenty
days after you receive it, you will receive a full refund of the contract value
(including charges). Where state law requires a longer right to return period,
or the return of purchase payments, the Company will comply. You bear the
investment risk on the purchase payment during the right to return period;
therefore, the Contract value returned may be greater or less than your purchase
payment.
If the Contract is purchased as an Individual Retirement Annuity, and is
returned within the first seven days after delivery, your full purchase payment
will be refunded. During the remainder of the right to return period, the
Contract value (including charges) will be refunded. The Contract value will be
determined at the close of business on the day we receive a written request for
a refund.

<PAGE> 6
WHAT TYPES OF INVESTMENT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE? You can direct your money into
the Fixed Account or any or all of the funding options shown on the cover page.
The funding options are described in the prospectuses for the funds. Depending
on market conditions, you may make or lose money in any of these options.
The value of the Contract will vary depending upon the investment performance of
the funding options you choose. Past performance is not a guarantee of future
results. Standard and Nonstandard performance is shown in the Statement of
Additional Information that you may request free of charge.
You can transfer between the funding options as frequently as you wish without
any current tax implications. Currently there is no charge for transfers, nor a
limit to the number of transfers allowed. We may, in the future, charge a fee
for any transfer request, or limit the number of transfers allowed. At a
minimum, we would always allow one transfer every six months. We reserve the
right to restrict transfers that we determine will disadvantage other contract
owners. You may transfer between the Fixed Account and the funding options twice
a year (during the 30 days after the six-month contract date anniversary),
provided the amount is not greater than 15% of the Fixed Account Value on that
date.
WHAT EXPENSES WILL BE ASSESSED UNDER THE CONTRACT? The Contract has insurance
features and investment features, and there are costs related to each. The
Company deducts an annual administrative charge of $30. The annual insurance
charge is 1.25% of the amounts you direct to the funding options, and the
sub-account administrative charge is 0.15% annually. Each funding option also
charges for management and other expenses. Please refer to the Fee Table for
more information about the charges.
A withdrawal charge will apply to withdrawals from the Contract, and is
calculated as a percentage of the purchase payments. The maximum percentage is
7%, decreasing to 0% in years seven and later.
HOW WILL MY CONTRIBUTIONS AND WITHDRAWALS BE TAXED? Generally, the payments you
make to a qualified Contract during the accumulation phase are made with
before-tax dollars. You will be taxed on your purchase payments and on any
earnings when you make a withdrawal or begin receiving annuity or income
payments. Under a nonqualified Contract, payments to the contract are made with
after-tax dollars, and earnings will accumulate tax-deferred. You will be taxed
on these earnings when they are withdrawn from the Contract.
For owners of qualified Contracts, if you reach a certain age, you may be
required by federal tax laws to begin receiving payments from your annuity or
risk paying a penalty tax. In those cases, we can calculate and pay you the
minimum required distribution amounts. If you are younger than 59 1/2 when you
take money out, you may be charged a 10% federal penalty tax on the amount
withdrawn.
HOW MAY I ACCESS MY MONEY? You can take withdrawals any time during the
accumulation phase. Withdrawal charges, income taxes, and/or a penalty tax may
apply to taxable amounts withdrawn.
WHAT IS THE DEATH BENEFIT UNDER THE CONTRACT? The death benefit applies upon
the first death of the owner, joint owner, or annuitant. Assuming you are the
Annuitant, the death benefit is as follows: If you die before the Contract is in
the payout phase, the person you have chosen as your beneficiary will receive a
death benefit. The death benefit value is calculated at the close of the
business day on which the Company's Home Office receives due proof of death and
written payment instructions. Certain states may have varying age requirements.
Please refer to the Death Benefit section in the prospectus for more details.
ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL FEATURES? This Contract has other features you may be
interested in. These include:
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING. This is a program that allows you to invest a fixed
amount of money in funding options each month, theoretically giving you a
lower average cost per unit over
4
<PAGE> 7
time than a single one-time purchase. Dollar Cost Averaging requires
regular investments regardless of fluctuating price levels, and does not
guarantee profits or prevent losses in a declining market. Potential
investors should consider their financial ability to continue purchases
through periods of low price levels.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL OPTION. Before the maturity date, you can arrange to
have money sent to you at set intervals throughout the year. Of course, any
applicable income and penalty taxes will apply on amounts withdrawn.
AUTOMATIC REBALANCING. You may elect to have the Company periodically
reallocate the values in your Contract to match your original (or your
latest) funding option allocation request.

NOTES:
The purpose of this Fee Table is to assist Contract Owners in understanding the
various costs and expenses that a Contract Owner will bear, directly or
indirectly. See "Charges and Deductions" in this prospectus for additional
information. Expenses shown do not include premium taxes, which may be
applicable. "Other Expenses" include operating costs of the fund. These expenses
are reflected in each funding option's net asset value and are not deducted from
the account value under the Contract.
(1) Other Expenses have been restated to reflect the current expense
reimbursement arrangement with Travelers Insurance Company. Travelers has
agreed to reimburse the Portfolio for the amount by which its aggregate
expenses (including the management fee, but excluding brokerage
commissions, interest charges and taxes) exceeds 0.40%. Without such
arrangement, Total Expenses would have been 0.50% for the MONEY MARKET
PORTFOLIO.
(2) Fees are stated net of waivers and/or reimbursements. Absent waivers
and/or reimbursements, the Management Fees, "12b-1 Fees", Other Expenses
and Total Annual Operating Expenses would have been 1.00%, 0.25%, 0.27%,
and 1.52% respectively for the TECHNOLOGY PORTFOLIO -- CLASS B. Effective
May 1, 2000, there is no cap on the expenses for this fund.
(3) The Adviser has agreed to waive all of its fees for the period ending
October 31, 1999 (the Fund's fiscal year end). If such fees were not
waived and expenses not reimbursed, total Annual Operating Expenses for
the SELECT SMALL CAP PORTFOLIO, the SELECT MID CAP PORTFOLIO, the SELECT
GROWTH PORTFOLIO, the SELECT GROWTH AND INCOME PORTFOLIO, and the SELECT
GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO would have been 4.38%, 5.35%, 5.00%, 5.22% and 3.73%
respectively. As a result of a voluntary expense limitation, the expense
ratios of these funds will not exceed 1.00%, 0.95%, 0.95%, 0.95%, and
0.80% respectively.
(4) On 2/8/00, a merger and reorganization was approved to merge the assets of
Franklin Small Cap Investments Fund into Franklin Small Cap Fund,
effective 5/1/00. The above table shows restated total expenses based upon
the new fees and assets of Franklin Small Cap Fund as of 12/31/99, and not
the assets of the combined fund on 5/1/00. However if the table reflected
both the new fees and the combined assets, the fund's expenses after
5/1/00 would be estimated as: Management Fees 0.55%, Distribution and
Service Fee 0.25%, Other expenses 0.27% and Total Fund Operating Expenses
1.07%. The Fund's Class 2 distribution plan or "Rule 12b-1 Plan" is
described in the Fund's prospectus.
(5) On 2/8/00, fund shareholders approved a merger and reorganization to merge
the assets of Templeton International Equity Fund into Templeton
International Fund (which then changed its name to Templeton International
Securities Fund), effective 5/1/00. The table shows restated total
expenses based upon the new fees and assets of Templeton International
Fund as of 12/31/99, and not the assets of the combined fund on 5/1/00.
However if the table reflected both the new fees and the combined assets,
the fund's expenses after 5/1/00 would be estimated as: Management Fees
0.65%, Distribution and Service Fee 0.25%, Other expenses 0.20% and Total
Fund Operating Expenses 1.10%. The Fund's Class 2 distribution plan or
"Rule 12b-1 Plan" is described in the Fund's prospectus.
(6) The Adviser has waived all or a portion of its Management Fees for the
year ended December 31, 1999. If such fees were not waived or expenses
reimbursed, the Management Fee, Other Expenses, and Total Annual Operating
Expenses would have been as follows: 0.70%, 0.45% and 1.15% respectively
for the INVESTORS FUND; 0.75%, 1.05%, and 1.80% respectively for the HIGH
YIELD BOND FUND; 0.85%, 1.14%, and 1.99% respectively for the CAPITAL
FUND; and 0.80%, 0.85%, and 1.65% respectively for the TOTAL RETURN FUND.
(7) Travelers Insurance Company has agreed to reimburse the MFS MID CAP GROWTH
PORTFOLIO for expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999 which exceeded
0.80%, 0.90%, 1.00% and 1.00% respectively. Without such voluntary
arrangements, the actual annualized Total Annual Operating Expenses would
have been 1.07%.
(8) Expenses are as of October 31, 1999 (the Fund's fiscal year end). There
were no fees waived or expenses reimbursed for these funds in 1999.
7
<PAGE> 10
(9) Fee waivers and expense reimbursements reduced expenses for CITISELECT(R)
VIP 200 CONSERVATIVE, CITISELECT(R) VIP 300 BALANCED, CITISELECT(R) VIP
400 GROWTH, CITISELECT(R) VIP 500 GROWTH PLUS, and the CITIFUNDS SMALL CAP
GROWTH VIP PORTFOLIO for the period ended December 31, 1999. If such
expenses were not voluntarily reimbursed, the actual annualized Total
Annual Operating Expenses would have been 4.82%, 3.66%, 5.44%, 10.38%, and
9.40% respectively.
(10) A portion of the brokerage commissions that certain funds pay was used to
reduce fund expenses. In addition, through arrangements with certain funds
custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were
used to reduce a portion of each applicable fund's expenses. Without these
reductions, the Total Annual Operating Expenses presented in the table
would have been 0.95% for CONTRAFUND PORTFOLIO -- SERVICE CLASS 2. Service
Class 2 expenses are based on estimated expenses for the first year.

Assuming a 5% annual return on assets, a $1,000 investment would be subject to

See Appendix A.
THE ANNUITY CONTRACT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CitiElite Annuity is a contract between the contract owner ("you"), and the
Company. You make purchase payments to us and we credit them to your Contract.
The Company promises to pay you an income, in the form of annuity or income
payments, beginning on a future date that you choose, the maturity date. The
purchase payments accumulate tax deferred in the funding options of your choice.
We offer multiple variable funding options, and one fixed account option. The
contract owner assumes the risk of gain or loss according to the performance of
the variable funding options. The contract value is the amount of purchase
payments, plus or minus any investment experience or interest. The contract
value also reflects all surrenders made and charges deducted. There is generally
no guarantee that at the maturity date the contract value will equal or exceed
the total purchase payments made under the Contract. The date the contract and
its benefits become effective is referred to as the contract date. Each 12-month
period following the contract date is called a contract year.
Certain changes and elections must be made in writing to the Company. Where the
term "written request" is used, it means that written information must be sent
to the Company's Customer Service Office at One Tower Square, Hartford,
Connecticut 06183-4065 in a form and content satisfactory to us.
CONTRACT OWNER INQUIRIES
Any questions you have about your Contract should be directed to the Company's
Customer Service Office at (800) 497-4857.
PURCHASE PAYMENTS
The initial purchase payment must be at least $5,000, which amount may be paid
in one or more installments of at least $100 within the first twelve months
after the contract date. You may make additional payments of at least $100 at
any time. Under certain circumstances, we may waive the minimum purchase payment
requirement. Purchase payments over $1,000,000 may be made with our prior
consent.
We will apply the initial purchase payment within two business days after we
receive it in good order at our Customer Service Office. Subsequent purchase
payments will be credited to a Contract on the same business day, if received in
good order by our Customer Service Office by 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. A business
day is any day that the New York Stock Exchange is open. Our business day ends
at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time unless we need to close earlier due to an emergency.
ACCUMULATION UNITS
The period between the contract effective date and the maturity date is the
accumulation period. During the accumulation period, an accumulation unit is
used to calculate the value of a Contract. An accumulation unit works like a
share of a mutual fund. Each funding option has a corresponding accumulation
unit value. The accumulation units are valued each business day and their values
may increase or decrease from day to day. The number of accumulation units we
will credit to your Contract once we receive a purchase payment is determined by
dividing the amount directed to each funding option by the value of its
accumulation unit. We calculate the value of an accumulation unit for each
funding option each day the New York Stock Exchange is open. The values are
calculated as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. After the value is calculated, we
credit your Contract. During the annuity period (i.e., after the maturity date),
you are credited with annuity units.

<PAGE> 12
THE FUNDING OPTIONS
You choose which of the following variable funding options to have your purchase
payments allocated to. These funding options are subsections of the Separate
Account, which invest in the underlying mutual funds ("underlying funds"). You
will find detailed information about the options and their inherent risks in the
current prospectuses for the funding options which must accompany this
prospectus. You are not investing directly in the underlying fund. Since each
option has varying degrees of risk, please read the prospectuses carefully
before investing. Contact your registered representative or call (800) 497-4857
to request additional copies of the prospectuses.
If any of the funding options become unavailable for allocating purchase
payments, or if we believe that further investment in a funding option is
inappropriate for the purposes of the Contract, we may substitute another
funding option. However, we will not make any substitutions without notifying
you and obtaining any state and SEC approval, if necessary. From time to time we
may make new funding options available.
The current variable funding options are listed below, along with their
investment advisers and any subadviser:

CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL
We deduct the charges described below. The charges are for the service and
benefits we provide, costs and expenses we incur, and risks we assume under the
Contracts. Services and benefits we provide include:
- the ability for you to make withdrawals and surrenders under the
Contracts;
- the death benefit paid on the death of the contract owner, annuitant, or
first of the joint contract owners,
- the available funding options and related programs (including dollar-cost
averaging, portfolio rebalancing, and systematic withdrawal programs);
- administration of the annuity options available under the Contracts; and
- the distribution of various reports to contract owners.
Costs and expenses we incur include:
- losses associated with various overhead and other expenses associated
with providing the services and benefits provided by the Contracts,
- sales and marketing expenses including commission payments to your sales
agent, and
12
<PAGE> 15
- other costs of doing business.
Risks we assume include:
- that annuitants may live longer than estimated when the annuity factors
under the Contracts were established;
- that the amount of the death benefit will be greater than the contract
value, and
- that the costs of providing the services and benefits under the Contracts
will exceed the charges deducted.
We may also deduct a charge for taxes.
Unless otherwise specified, charges are deducted proportionately from all
funding options in which you are invested.
We may reduce or eliminate the withdrawal charge, the administrative charges
and/or the mortality and expense risk charge under the Contract when certain
sales or administration of the Contract result in savings or reduced expenses
and/or risks. For certain trusts, we may change the order in which purchase
payments and earnings are withdrawn in order to determine the withdrawal charge.
We will not reduce or eliminate the withdrawal charge or the administrative
charge where such reduction or elimination would be unfairly discriminatory to
any person.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
We do not deduct a sales charge from purchase payments when they are made to the
Contract. However, a withdrawal charge will apply if purchase payments are
withdrawn before they have been in the Contract for seven years. We will assess
the charge as a percentage of the purchase payment withdrawn as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
YEARS SINCE PURCHASE
PAYMENT MADE WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
<S> <C>
<1 7 %
1 7 %
2 7 %
3 6 %
4 5 %
5 4 %
6 3 %
7 and over 0 %
</TABLE>
For purposes of the withdrawal charge calculation, withdrawals are deemed to be
taken first from:
(a) any purchase payment to which no withdrawal charge applies, and then
(b) any remaining free withdrawal allowance (as described below) (after
being reduced by (a)), then
(c) from any purchase payment to which a withdrawal charge applies (on a
first-in, first-out basis), then
(d) from any Contract earnings.
Unless you instruct us otherwise, we will deduct the withdrawal charge from the
amount requested.
We will not deduct a withdrawal charge:
- from payments we make due to the distribution of death proceeds;
- upon election of a lifetime annuity payout taken after the first Contract
year or,
- due to a minimum distribution under our minimum distribution rules then
in effect.
Note: Any free withdrawals taken will not reduce purchase payments still subject
to a withdrawal charge.
13
<PAGE> 16
FREE WITHDRAWAL ALLOWANCE
You may withdraw up to 15% of the contract value annually, without a withdrawal
charge. (If you have purchase payments no longer subject to a withdrawal charge,
the maximum you may withdraw without a withdrawal charge is the greater of (a)
the free withdrawal allowance, or (b) the total amount of purchase payments no
longer subject to a withdrawal charge. Note: Any free withdrawal taken will
reduce purchase payments no longer subject to a withdrawal charge.) For the
first contract year, the available amount is 15% of the initial purchase
payment. Beginning in the second contract year, the available free withdrawal
amount is 15% of the contract value at the end of the previous contract year.
The free withdrawal allowance applies to any partial withdrawals and to full
withdrawals, except those transferred directly to annuity contracts issued by
other financial institutions. In Washington State, the free withdrawal provision
applies to all withdrawals.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES
We deduct a contract administrative charge of $30 annually on each anniversary
of the contract date. This charge compensates us for expenses incurred in
establishing and maintaining the Contract. The $30 charge is deducted from the
contract value by canceling accumulation units applicable to each variable
funding option on a pro rata basis. For the first Contract year this charge will
be prorated (i.e. calculated) from the date of purchase. A prorated charge will
also be made if the Contract is completely withdrawn or terminated. We will not
deduct a contract administrative charge:
(1) from the distribution of death proceeds; or
(2) after an annuity payout has begun.
An administrative expense charge (sometimes called "sub-account administrative
charge") is deducted on each business day from amounts allocated to the variable
funding options in order to compensate the Company for certain related
administrative and operating expenses. The charge equals, on an annual basis,
0.15% of the daily net asset value allocated to each of the variable funding
options.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
Each business day, the Company deducts a mortality and expense risk ("M&E")
charge from amounts held in the variable funding options. The deduction is
reflected in our calculation of accumulation and annuity unit values. The
charges stated are the maximum for this product. We reserve the right to lower
this charge at any time. This charge equals, on an annual basis, 1.25% of the
amounts held in each variable funding option. This charge compensates the
Company for risks assumed, benefits provided and expenses incurred, including
the payment of commissions to your sales agent.
FUNDING OPTION EXPENSES
The charges and expenses of the funding options are summarized in the fee table
and are described in the accompanying prospectuses.
PREMIUM TAX
Certain state and local governments charge premium taxes ranging from 0% to 5%,
depending upon jurisdiction. The Company is responsible for paying these taxes
and will determine the method used to recover premium tax expenses incurred. We
will deduct any applicable premium taxes from the contract value either upon
death, surrender, annuitization, or at the time purchase payments are made to
the Contract, but no earlier than when we have a tax liability under state law.
14
<PAGE> 17
CHANGES IN TAXES BASED UPON PREMIUM OR VALUE
If there is any change in a law assessing taxes against the Company based upon
premiums, contract gains or value of the contract, we reserve the right to
charge you proportionately for this tax.
TRANSFERS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 30 days before the maturity date, you may transfer all or part of the
contract value between funding options. Transfers are made at the value(s) next
determined after we receive your request at the Home Office. There are no
charges or restrictions on the amount or frequency of transfers currently;
however, we reserve the right to charge a fee for any transfer request, and to
limit the number of transfers to one in any six-month period. We also reserve
the right to restrict transfers by any market timing firm or any other third
party authorized to initiate transfers on behalf of multiple contract owners. We
may, among other things, not accept: 1) the transfer instructions of any agent
acting under a power of attorney on behalf of more than one owner, or 2) the
transfer or exchange instructions of individual owners who have executed
pre-authorized transfer forms which are submitted by market timing firms or
other third parties on behalf of more than one owner. We further reserve the
right to limit transfers that we determine will disadvantage other contract
owners.
Since different funding options have different expenses, a transfer of contract
values from one funding option to another could result in your investment
becoming subject to higher or lower expenses. After the maturity date, you may
make transfers between funding options only with our consent. Please refer to
Appendix B for information about transfers between the Fixed Account and the
funding options.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
Dollar cost averaging or the pre-authorized transfer program (the "DCA Program")
allows you to transfer a set dollar amount to other funding options on a monthly
or quarterly basis during the accumulation phase of the Contract. Using this
method, more accumulation units are purchased in a funding option if the value
per unit is low and fewer accumulation units are purchased if the value per unit
is high. Therefore, a lower-than-average cost per unit may be achieved over the
long run.
You may elect the DCA Program through written request or other method acceptable
to the Company. You must have a minimum total contract value of $5,000 to enroll
in the DCA Program. The minimum amount that may be transferred through this
program is $100.
You may establish pre-authorized transfers of contract values from the Fixed
Account, subject to certain restrictions. Under the DCA Program, automated
transfers from the Fixed Account may not deplete your Fixed Account Value in
less than twelve months from your enrollment in the DCA Program.
In addition to the DCA Program, the Company may credit increased interest rates
to contract owners under an administrative Special DCA Program established at
the discretion of the Company, depending on availability and state law. Under
this program, the contract owner may pre-authorize level transfers to any of the
funding options under either a 6 Month Program or 12 Month Program. The 6 Month
Program and the 12 Month Program will generally have different credited interest
rates. Under the 6 Month Program, the interest rate can accrue up to 6 months on
funds in the Special DCA Program and all purchase payments and accrued interest
must be transferred on a level basis to the selected funding option in 6 months.
Under the 12 Month Program, the interest rate can accrue up to 12 months on
funds in the Special DCA Program and all purchase payments and accrued interest
in this Program must be transferred on a level basis to the selected funding
options in 12 months.
15
<PAGE> 18
The pre-authorized transfers will begin after the initial Program purchase
payment and complete enrollment instructions are received by the Company. If
complete Program enrollment instructions are not received by the Company within
15 days of receipt of the initial Program purchase payment, the entire balance
in the Program will be credited with the non-Program interest rate then in
effect for the Fixed Account.
You may start or stop participation in the DCA Program at any time, but you must
give the Company at least 30 days' notice to change any automated transfer
instructions that are currently in place. If you stop the Special DCA Program
and elect to remain in the Fixed Account, your contract value will be credited
for the remainder of 6 or 12 months with the interest rate for non-Program
funds.
A contract owner may only have one DCA Program or Special DCA Program in place
at one time. Any subsequent purchase payments received by the Company within the
Program period selected will be allocated to the current funding options over
the remainder of that Program transfer period, unless otherwise directed by the
contract owner.
All provisions and terms of the Contract apply to the DCA and Special DCA
Programs, including provisions relating to the transfer of money between
investment options. We reserve the right to suspend or modify transfer
privileges at any time and to assess a processing fee for this service.
ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any time before the maturity date, you may redeem all or any portion of the cash
surrender value, that is, the contract value less any withdrawal charge and any
premium tax not previously deducted. Unless you submit a written request
specifying the fixed or variable funding option(s) from which amounts are to be
withdrawn, the withdrawal will be made on a pro rata basis. The cash surrender
value will be determined as of the close of business after we receive your
surrender request at the Customer Service Office. The cash surrender value may
be more or less than the purchase payments made. Withdrawals during the annuity
period are not allowed.
We may defer payment of any cash surrender value for a period of up to seven
days after the written request is received, but it is our intent to pay as soon
as possible. We cannot process requests for withdrawals that are not in good
order. We will contact you if there is a deficiency causing a delay and will
advise what is needed to act upon the withdrawal request.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS
Beginning in the first contract year and before the maturity date, you may
choose to withdraw a specified dollar amount (at least $100) on a monthly,
quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. Any applicable premium taxes and
withdrawal charge will be deducted. To elect systematic withdrawals, you must
have a contract value of at least $15,000 and you must make the election on the
form provided by the Company. We will surrender accumulation units pro rata from
all investment options in which you have an interest, unless you instruct us
otherwise. You may begin or discontinue systematic withdrawals at any time by
notifying us in writing, but at least 30 days' notice must be given to change
any systematic withdrawal instructions that are currently in place.
We reserve the right to discontinue offering systematic withdrawals or to assess
a processing fee for this service upon 30 days' written notice to contract
owners (where allowed by state law).
Each systematic withdrawal is subject to federal income taxes on the taxable
portion. In addition, a 10% federal penalty tax may be assessed on systematic
withdrawals if the contract owner is under age 59 1/2. You should consult with
your tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of systematic withdrawals.
16
<PAGE> 19
LOANS
Loans may be available under your Contract. If available, all loan provisions
are described in your Contract or loan agreement.
OWNERSHIP PROVISIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TYPES OF OWNERSHIP
CONTRACT OWNER
CONTRACT OWNER (you). The Contract belongs to the contract owner named in the
Contract (on the Specifications page), or to any other person to whom the
contract is subsequently assigned. An assignment of ownership or a collateral
assignment may be made only for nonqualified contracts. You have sole power
during the annuitant's lifetime to exercise any rights and to receive all
benefits given in the contract provided you have not named an irrevocable
beneficiary and provided the Contract is not assigned.
You receive all payments while the annuitant is alive unless you direct them to
an alternate recipient. An alternate recipient does not become the contract
owner.
Joint Owner. For nonqualified contracts only, joint owners (e.g. spouses) may
be named in a written request before the contract is in effect. Joint owners may
independently exercise transfers allowed under the Contract. All other rights of
ownership must be exercised by both owners. Joint owners own equal shares of any
benefits accruing or payments made to them.
BENEFICIARY
You name the beneficiary in a written request. The beneficiary has the right to
receive any death proceeds under the contract upon the death of the annuitant or
a contract owner. If more than one beneficiary survives the annuitant or
contract owner, they will share equally in benefits unless different shares are
recorded with the Company by written request before the death of the annuitant
or contract owner. In the case of a non-spousal beneficiary or a spousal
beneficiary who has not chosen to assume the contract, the death benefit
proceeds will be held in a fixed account until the beneficiary elects a
Settlement Option or takes a distribution.
Unless an irrevocable beneficiary has been named, you have the right to change
any beneficiary by written request during the lifetime of the annuitant and
while the Contract continues.
ANNUITANT
The annuitant is designated in the Contract (on the Specifications page), and is
the individual on whose life the maturity date and the amount of the monthly
annuity payments depend. The annuitant may not be changed after the contract is
in effect.
A contingent annuitant may not be changed, deleted or added after the Contract
becomes effective.
DEATH BENEFIT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before the maturity date, when there is no contingent annuitant, a death benefit
is payable when either the annuitant or a contract owner dies. The death benefit
is calculated at the close of the business day on which the Company's Customer
Service Office receives due proof of death and written payment instructions
("death report date").
17
<PAGE> 20
DEATH PROCEEDS BEFORE THE MATURITY DATE
WHERE THE ANNUITANT WAS YOUNGER THAN AGE 68 ON THE CONTRACT DATE:
The death benefit payable will be the greatest of (1), (2) or (3) below, each
reduced by any applicable premium tax and outstanding loans:
(1) the contract value;
(2) the total purchase payments made under the Contract less all partial
surrenders; or
(3) the Step-Up value (if any, as described below).
We must be notified no later than six months from the date of death in order for
Us to make payment of proceeds as described above. If we receive the
notification more than six months after the date of death, the Death Benefit
payable will be the Contract Value on the Death Report Date less any applicable
premium tax and outstanding loans.
WHERE THE ANNUITANT WAS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 68 THROUGH 75 ON THE CONTRACT DATE:
The death benefit payable will be the greatest of (1), (2) or (3) below, each
reduced by any applicable premium tax and outstanding loans:
(1) the contract value;
(2) the total purchase payments made under the Contract less all partial
surrender; or
(3) the Step-Up value (as described below) associated with the seventh
Contract Date Anniversary.
We must be notified no later than six months from the date of death in order for
Us to make payment of proceeds as described above. When permitted by state law,
if we receive the notification more than six months after the date of death, the
Death Benefit payable will be the Contract Value on the Death Report Date less
any applicable premium tax and outstanding loans.
WHERE ANNUITANT WAS AGE 76 OR OLDER ON THE CONTRACT DATE:
The death benefit payable will be the Contract Value on the Death Report Date,
less any applicable premium tax and any outstanding loans.
STEP-UP VALUE:
The Step-Up Value will be established on the seventh Contract Date anniversary.
The Step-Up Value will equal the Contract Value on that anniversary. For
Contracts where the Annuitant was younger than 68 on the Contract Date, the
Step-Up Value will be recalculated on each anniversary until the Annuitant's
76th birthday. If the Contract Value on the anniversary is greater than the
Step-Up Value, the Step-Up Value will be reset to equal the Contract Value on
that date. If the Step-Up Value is greater than the Contract Value, the Step-Up
Value remains unchanged. For all contracts, each time a Purchase Payment is made
we will increase the Step-Up Value by the amount of the payment and, when a
partial surrender is taken, we will reduce the Step-Up Value by a Partial
Surrender reduction (as described below).
The Partial Surrender Reduction equals:
(1) the Step-Up Value immediately before the reduction for the partial
surrender, multiplied by
(2) the amount of the partial surrender divided by
(3) the Contract Value immediately before the partial surrender.

For example, assume your current contract value is $55,000. If your original
step-up value is $50,000, and you decide to make a partial withdrawal of
$10,000, the step-up value would be reduced as follows:
50,000 x (10,000/55,000) = 9,090
Your new step-up value would be 50,000 - 9,090, or $40,910.
The following example shows what would happen in a declining market. Assume your
current contract value is $30,000. If your original step-up value is $50,000,
and you decide to make a partial withdrawal of $10,000, the step-up value would
be reduced as follows:
50,000 x (10,000/30,000) = 16,666
Your new step-up value would be 50,000 - 16,666, or $33,334.
PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS
The process of paying death benefit proceeds before the maturity date under
various situations for nonqualified contracts and qualified contracts is
summarized in the charts below. The charts do not encompass every situation and
are merely intended as a general guide. More detailed information is provided in
your Contract. Generally, the person(s) receiving the benefit may request that
the proceeds be paid in a lump sum, or be applied to one of the settlement
options available under the Contract.

will pay the beneficiary a death benefit consisting of any benefit remaining
under the annuity or income option then in effect.
20
<PAGE> 23
THE ANNUITY PERIOD
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MATURITY DATE
Under the Contract, you can receive regular income payments (annuity payments).
You can choose the month and the year in which those payments begin (maturity
date). You can also choose among income plans (annuity or income options) or
elect a lump sum distribution. While the annuitant is alive, you can change your
selection any time up to the maturity date. Annuity or income payments will
begin on the maturity date stated in the Contract unless the Contract has been
fully surrendered or the proceeds have been paid to the beneficiary before that
date, or unless you elect another date. Annuity payments are a series of
periodic payments (a) for life; (b) for life with either a minimum number of
payments or a specific amount assured; or (c) for the joint lifetime of the
annuitant and another person, and thereafter during the lifetime of the
survivor. We may require proof that the annuitant is alive before annuity
payments are made. Not all options may be available in all states.
Unless you elect otherwise, the maturity date will be the annuitant's 90th
birthday or ten years after the effective date of the contract, if later. (For
Contracts issued in certain states, the maturity date elected may not be later
than the annuitant's 90th birthday.) Certain annuity options taken at the
maturity date may be used to meet the minimum required distribution requirements
of federal tax law or a program of partial surrenders may be used instead. These
mandatory distribution requirements take effect generally upon the death of the
contract owner, or with qualified contracts upon either the later of the
contract owner's attainment of age 70 1/2 or year of retirement; or the death of
the contract owner. Independent tax advice should be sought regarding the
election of minimum required distributions.
ALLOCATION OF ANNUITY
When an annuity option is elected, it may be elected as a variable annuity, a
fixed annuity, or a combination of both. If, at the time annuity payments begin,
no election has been made to the contrary, the cash surrender value will be
applied to provide an annuity funded by the same investment options as you have
selected during the accumulation period (contract value, in Oregon). At least 30
days before the maturity date, you may transfer the contract value among the
funding options in order to change the basis on which annuity payments will be
determined. (See "Transfers.")
VARIABLE ANNUITY
You may choose an annuity payout that fluctuates depending on the investment
experience of the variable funding options. The number of annuity units credited
to the Contract is determined by dividing the first monthly annuity payment
attributable to each funding option by the corresponding accumulation unit value
as of 14 days before the date annuity payments begin. An annuity unit is used to
measure the dollar value of an annuity payment. The number of annuity units (but
not their value) remains fixed during the annuity period.
DETERMINATION OF FIRST ANNUITY PAYMENT. The Contract contains tables used to
determine the first monthly annuity payment. If a variable annuity is elected,
the amount applied to it will be the value of the funding options as of 14 days
before the date annuity payments begin less any applicable premium taxes not
previously deducted.
The amount of the first monthly payment depends on the annuity option elected
and the annuitant's adjusted age. A formula for determining the adjusted age is
contained in the Contract. The total first monthly annuity payment is determined
by multiplying the benefit per $1,000 of value shown in the Contract tables by
the number of thousands of dollars of contract value applied to that annuity
option and factors in an assumed daily net investment factor. The Assumed Daily
21
<PAGE> 24
Net Investment factor corresponds to an annual interest rate of 3%, used to
determine the guaranteed payout rates shown. If investment rates are higher at
the time annuitization is selected, payout rates will be higher than those
shown. The Company reserves the right to require satisfactory proof of age of
any person on whose life annuity payments are based before making the first
payment under any of the payment options.
DETERMINATION OF SECOND AND SUBSEQUENT ANNUITY PAYMENTS. The dollar amount of
all subsequent annuity payments changes from month to month based on the
investment experience of the applicable funding options. The total amount of
each annuity payment will be equal to the sum of the basic payments in each
funding option. The actual amounts of these payments are determined by
multiplying the number of annuity units credited to each funding option by the
corresponding annuity unit value as of the date 14 days before the date the
payment is due.
FIXED ANNUITY
You may choose a fixed annuity that provides payments which do not vary during
the annuity period. We will calculate the dollar amount of the first fixed
annuity payment as described under "Variable Annuity," except that the amount
applied to begin the annuity will be the cash surrender value, determined as of
the date annuity payments begin. Payout rates will not be lower than those shown
in the Contract. If it would produce a larger payment, the first fixed annuity
payment will be determined using the Life Annuity Tables in effect on the
maturity date.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ELECTION OF OPTIONS
While the annuitant is alive, you can change your annuity or income option
selection any time up to the maturity date. Once annuity or income payments have
begun, no further elections are allowed.
During the annuitant's lifetime, if you do not elect otherwise before the
maturity date, we will pay you (or another designated payee) the first of a
series of monthly annuity or income payments based on the life of the annuitant,
in accordance with Annuity Option 2 (Life Annuity with 120 monthly payments
assured). For certain qualified contracts, Annuity Option 4 (Joint and Last
Survivor Joint Life Annuity -- Annuity Reduced on Death of Primary Payee) will
be the automatic option as described in the Contract.
The minimum amount that can be placed under an annuity or income option will be
$1,000 unless we agree to a lesser amount. If any monthly periodic payment due
is less than $100, the Company reserves the right to make payments at less
frequent intervals, or to pay the contract value in a lump-sum.
On the maturity date, we will pay the amount due under the Contract in
accordance with the payment option that you select. You may choose to receive a
single lump-sum payment. You must elect an option in writing, in a form
satisfactory to the Company. Any election made during the lifetime of the
annuitant must be made by the contract owner.
ANNUITY OPTIONS
Subject to the conditions described in "Election of Options" above, all or any
part of the cash surrender value (less any applicable premium taxes) may be paid
under one or more of the following annuity options. Payments under the annuity
options may be elected on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. We
may offer additional options.
22
<PAGE> 25
Option 1 -- Life Annuity -- No Refund. The Company will make annuity payments
during the lifetime of the annuitant ending with the last payment before death.
This option offers the maximum periodic payment, since there is no assurance of
a minimum number of payments or provision for a death benefit for beneficiaries.
Option 2 -- Life Annuity with 120, 180 or 240 Monthly Payments Assured. The
Company will make monthly annuity payments during the lifetime of the annuitant,
with the agreement that if, at the death of that person, payments have been made
for less than 120, 180 or 240 months as elected, we will continue making
payments to the beneficiary during the remainder of the period.
Option 3 -- Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity -- No Refund. The Company will
make regular annuity payments during the lifetime of the annuitant and a second
person. When either person dies, we will continue making payments to the
survivor. No further payments will be made following the death of the survivor.
Option 4 -- Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity -- Annuity Reduced on Death of
Primary Payee. The Company will make annuity payments during the lifetimes of
the annuitant and a second person. One will be designated the primary payee, the
other will be designated the secondary payee. On the death of the secondary
payee, the Company will continue to make monthly annuity payments to the primary
payee in the same amount that would have been payable during the joint lifetime
of the two persons. On the death of the primary payee, the Company will continue
to make annuity payments to the secondary payee in an amount equal to 50% of the
payments which would have been made during the lifetime of the primary payee. No
further payments will be made once both payees have died.
Option 5 -- Other Annuity Options. The Company will make any other arrangements
for annuity payments as may be mutually agreed upon.
INCOME OPTIONS
Instead of one of the annuity options described above, and subject to the
conditions described under "Election of Options," all or part of the Contract's
cash surrender value (or, if required by state law, contract value) may be paid
under one or more of the following income options, provided that they are
consistent with federal tax law qualification requirements. Payments under the
income options may be elected on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual
basis:
Option 1 -- Payments of a Fixed Amount. The Company will make equal payments of
the amount elected until the cash surrender value applied under this option has
been exhausted. The first payment and all later payments will be paid from each
funding option or the Fixed Account in proportion to the cash surrender value
attributable to each funding option and/or Fixed Account. The final payment will
include any amount insufficient to make another full payment.
Option 2 -- Payments for a Fixed Period. The Company will make payments for the
period selected. The amount of each payment will be equal to the remaining cash
surrender value applied under this option divided by the number of remaining
payments. If, at the death of the annuitant, the total number of fixed payments
has not been made, the payments will be made to the beneficiary.
Option 3 -- Other Income Options. The Company will make any other arrangements
for Income Options as may be mutually agreed upon.
MISCELLANEOUS CONTRACT PROVISIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RIGHT TO RETURN
You may return the Contract for a full refund of the contract value (including
charges) within twenty days after you receive it (the "right to return period").
You bear the investment risk on the
23
<PAGE> 26
purchase payment during the right to return period; therefore, the contract
value returned may be greater or less than your purchase payment.
If the Contract is purchased as an Individual Retirement Annuity, and is
returned within the first seven days after delivery, your purchase payment will
be refunded in full; during the remainder of the right to return period, the
contract value (including charges) will be refunded.
The contract value will be determined following the close of the business day on
which we receive the Contract and a written request for a refund. Where state
law requires a longer period, or the return of purchase payments or other
variations of this provision, the Company will comply. Refer to your Contract
for any state-specific information.
TERMINATION
You do not need to make any purchase payments after the first to keep the
Contract in effect. However, we reserve the right to terminate the Contract on
any business day if the contract value as of that date is less than $1,000 and
no purchase payments have been made for at least two years, unless otherwise
specified by state law. Termination will not occur until 31 days after the
Company has mailed notice of termination to the contract owner's last known
address and to any assignee of record. If the Contract is terminated, we will
pay you the cash surrender value less any applicable premium tax, and any
applicable administrative charge.
REQUIRED REPORTS
As often as required by law, but at least once in each contract year before the
due date of the first annuity payment, we will furnish a report showing the
number of accumulation units credited to the Contract and the corresponding
accumulation unit value(s) as of the report date for each funding option to
which the contract owner has allocated amounts during the applicable period. The
Company will keep all records required under federal and state laws.
SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS
The Company reserves the right to suspend or postpone the date of any payment or
determination of values on any business day (1) when the New York Stock Exchange
("the Exchange") is closed; (2) when trading on the Exchange is restricted; (3)
when an emergency exists as determined by the SEC so that the sale of securities
held in the Separate Account may not reasonably occur or so that the Company may
not reasonably determine the value the Separate Account's net assets; or (4)
during any other period when the SEC, by order, so permits for the protection of
security holders.
TRANSFERS OF CONTRACT VALUES TO OTHER ANNUITIES
Where state law permits, we may allow contract owners to transfer their contract
values into other annuities offered by us or our affiliated insurance companies
under rules then in effect.
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First Citicorp Life Variable Annuity ("Separate Account") was established on
July 6, 1994 and is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust (separate
account) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").
The Separate Account assets attributable to the Contracts will be invested
exclusively in the shares of the variable funding options.
The Separate Account assets are held for the exclusive benefit of the owners of
this separate account, according to the laws of New York. Income, gains and
losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to the Separate Account
are, in accordance with the Contracts, credited to or
24
<PAGE> 27
charged against the Separate Account without regard to other income, gains and
losses of the Company. The assets held by the Separate Account are not
chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business which the Company
may conduct. Obligations under the Contract are obligations of the Company.
All investment income and other distributions of the funding options are payable
to the Separate Account. All such income and/or distributions are reinvested in
shares of the respective funding option at net asset value. Shares of the
funding options are currently sold only to life insurance company separate
accounts to fund variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
From time to time, we may advertise several types of historical performance for
the Contract's funding options. We may advertise the "standardized average
annual total returns" of the funding option, calculated in a manner prescribed
by the SEC, and the "non-standardized total return," as described below.
Specific examples of the performance information appear in the SAI.
STANDARDIZED METHOD. Quotations of average annual total returns are computed
according to a formula in which a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 is
applied to the funding option, and then related to ending redeemable values over
one-, five-, and ten-year periods, or for a period covering the time during
which the funding option has been in existence, if less. These quotations
reflect the deduction of all recurring charges during each period (on a pro rata
basis in the case of fractional periods). The deduction for the annual
administrative charge is converted to a percentage of assets based on the actual
fee collected (or anticipated to be collected, if a new product), divided by the
average net assets for Contracts sold (or anticipated to be sold). Each
quotation assumes a total redemption at the end of each period with the
applicable withdrawal charge deducted at that time.
NONSTANDARDIZED METHOD. Nonstandardized "total returns" will be calculated in a
similar manner based on the performance of the funding options over a period of
time, usually for the calendar year-to-date, and for the past one-, three-,
five- and ten-year periods. Nonstandardized total returns will not reflect the
deduction of the annual contract administrative charge, which, if reflected,
would decrease the level of performance shown. The withdrawal charge is not
reflected because the Contract is designed for long-term investment.
For funding options that were in existence before they became available under
the Separate Account, the nonstandardized average annual total return quotations
will reflect the investment performance that such funding options would have
achieved (reduced by the applicable charges) had they been held under the
Contract for the period quoted. The total return quotations are based upon
historical earnings and are not necessarily representative of future
performance.
GENERAL. Within the guidelines prescribed by the SEC and the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"), performance information may be
quoted numerically or may be presented in a table, graph or other illustration.
Advertisements may include data comparing performance to well-known indices of
market performance (including, but not limited to, the Dow Jones Industrial
Average, the Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 Index, the S&P 400 Index, the Lehman
Brothers Long T-Bond Index, the Russell 1000, 2000 and 3000 Indices, the Value
Line Index, and the Morgan Stanley Capital International's EAFE Index).
Advertisements may also include published editorial comments and performance
rankings compiled by independent organizations (including, but not limited to,
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. and Morningstar, Inc.) and publications that
monitor the performance of the Separate Account and the variable funding
options.

FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following general discussion of the federal income tax consequences under
this Contract is not intended to cover all situations, and is not meant to
provide tax advice. Because of the complexity of the law and the fact that the
tax results will vary depending on many factors, you should consult your tax
adviser regarding your personal situation. For your information, a more detailed
tax discussion is contained in the SAI.
GENERAL TAXATION OF ANNUITIES
Congress has recognized the value of saving for retirement by providing certain
tax benefits, in the form of tax deferral, for money put into an annuity. The
Internal Revenue Code (Code) governs how this money is ultimately taxed,
depending upon the type of contract, qualified or non-qualified, and the manner
in which the money is distributed, as briefly described below.
TAX-FREE EXCHANGES: The Internal Revenue Codes provides that, generally, no gain
or loss is recognized when an annuity contract is received in exchange for a
life, endownment, or annuity contract. Since different annuity contracts have
different expenses, fees and benefits, a tax-free exchange could result in your
investment becoming subject to higher or lower fees and/or expenses.
TYPES OF CONTRACTS: QUALIFIED OR NONQUALIFIED
If you purchase an annuity contract with proceeds of an eligible rollover
distribution from any pension plan, specially sponsored program, or individual
retirement annuity (IRA) with pre-tax dollars, your contract is referred to as a
qualified contract. Some examples of qualified contracts are: IRAs, 403(b)
annuities, pension and profit-sharing plans (including 401(k) plans), Keogh
Plans, and certain other qualified deferred compensation plans. An exception to
this is a qualified plan called a Roth IRA. Under Roth IRA, after tax
contributions accumulate until Maturity, when amounts (including earnings) may
be withdrawn tax-free. If you purchase the contract on an individual basis with
after-tax dollars and not under one of the programs described above, your
contract is referred to as nonqualified.
NONQUALIFIED ANNUITY CONTRACTS
As the owner of a nonqualified annuity, you do not receive any tax benefit
(deduction or deferral of income) on purchase payments, but you will not be
taxed on increases in the value of your contract until a distribution occurs --
either as a withdrawal (distribution made prior to the maturity date), or as
annuity payments. When a withdrawal is made, you are taxed on the amount of the
withdrawal that is considered earnings. Similarly, when you receive an annuity
payment, part of each payment is considered a return of your purchase payments
and will not be taxed. The remaining portion of the annuity payment (i.e., any
earnings) will be considered ordinary income for tax purposes.
If a nonqualified annuity is owned by other than an individual, however, (e.g.,
by a corporation), increases in the value of the contract attributable to
purchase payments made after February 28, 1986 are includible in income
annually. Furthermore, for contracts issued after April 22, 1987, if you
transfer the contract without adequate consideration all deferred increases in
value will be includible in your income at the time of the transfer.
If you make a partial withdrawal, this money will generally be taxed as first
coming from earnings, (income in the contract), and then from your purchase
payments. These withdrawn earnings are includible in your income. (See "Penalty
Tax for Premature Distributions" below.) There is income in the contract to the
extent the contract value exceeds your investment in the contract. The
investment in the contract equals the total purchase payments you paid less any
amount received previously which was excludible from gross income. Any direct or
indirect borrowing
26
<PAGE> 29
against the value of the contract or pledging of the contract as security for a
loan will be treated as a cash distribution under the tax law.
Federal tax law requires that nonqualified annuity contracts meet minimum
mandatory distribution requirements upon the death of the contract owner,
including the first of joint owners. If these requirements are not met, the
surviving joint owner, or the beneficiary, will have to pay taxes prior to
distribution. The distribution required depends, among other things, upon
whether an annuity option is elected or whether the new contract owner is the
surviving spouse. We will administer Contracts in accordance with these rules
and we will notify you when you should begin receiving payments.
QUALIFIED ANNUITY CONTRACTS
Under a qualified annuity, since amounts paid into the contract have not yet
been taxed, the full amount of all distributions, including lump-sum withdrawals
and annuity payments, are taxed at the ordinary income tax rate unless the
distribution is transferred to an eligible rollover account or contract. The
Contract is available as a vehicle for IRA rollovers and for other qualified
contracts. There are special rules which govern the taxation of qualified
contracts, including withdrawal restrictions, requirements for mandatory
distributions, and contribution limits. We have provided a more complete
discussion in the SAI.
PENALTY TAX FOR PREMATURE DISTRIBUTIONS
Taxable distributions taken before the contract owner has reached the age of
59 1/2 will be subject to a 10% additional tax penalty unless the distribution
is taken in a series of periodic distributions, for life or life expectancy, or
unless the distribution follows the death or disability of the contract owner.
Other exceptions may be available in certain qualified plans.
DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR VARIABLE ANNUITIES
The Code requires that any nonqualified variable annuity contracts based on a
separate account shall not be treated as an annuity for any period if
investments made in the account are not adequately diversified. Final tax
regulations define how separate accounts must be diversified. The Company
monitors the diversification of investments constantly and believes that its
accounts are adequately diversified. The consequence of any failure to diversify
is essentially the loss to the Contract Owner of tax deferred treatment. The
Company intends to administer all contracts subject to this provision of law in
a manner that will maintain adequate diversification.
OWNERSHIP OF THE INVESTMENTS
Assets in the separate accounts, also referred to as segregated asset accounts,
must be owned by the Company and not by the Contract Owner for federal income
tax purposes. Otherwise, the deferral of taxes is lost and income and gains from
the accounts would be includable annually in the Contract Owner's gross income.
The Internal Revenue Service has stated in published rulings that a variable
contract owner will be considered the owner of the assets of a segregated asset
account if the owner possesses an incident of ownership in those assets, such as
the ability to exercise investment control over the assets. The Treasury
Department announced, in connection with the issuance of temporary regulations
concerning investment diversification, that those regulations "do not provide
guidance concerning the circumstances in which investor control of the
investments of a segregated asset account may cause the investor, rather than
the insurance company, to be treated as the owner of the assets of the account."
This announcement, dated September 15, 1986, also stated that the guidance would
be issued by way of regulations or rulings on the "extent to which policyholders
may direct their investments to particular subaccounts [of a segregated asset
account] without being treated as owners of the underlying assets." As of the
date of this prospectus, no such guidance has been issued.
27

The Company does not know if such guidance will be issued, or if it is, what
standards it may set. Furthermore, the Company does not know if such guidance
may be issued with retroactive effect. New regulations are generally issued with
a prospective-only effect as to future sales or as to future voluntary
transactions in existing contracts. The Company therefore reserves the right to
modify the contract as necessary to attempt to prevent Contract Owners from
being considered the owner of the assets of the separate account.
MANDATORY DISTRIBUTIONS FOR QUALIFIED PLANS
Federal tax law requires that minimum annual distributions begin by April 1st of
the calendar year following the calendar year in which an IRA owner attains age
70 1/2. Participants in qualified plans and 403(b) annuities may defer minimum
distributions until the later of April 1st of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which they attain age 70 1/2 or the year of retirement.
Distributions must begin or be continued according to required patterns
following the death of the contract owner or annuitant of both qualified and
nonqualified annuities.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements for the insurance company and the separate account are
located in the Statement of Additional Information. These reports are accessible
through the SEC's website that appears on page 1 of the prospectus.
DISTRIBUTION OF VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS
The Company intends to sell the Contracts in all jurisdictions where it is
licensed to do business and where the Contract is approved. Any sales
representative or employee who sells the Contracts will be qualified to sell
variable annuities under applicable federal and state laws. Each broker-dealer
is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and all
are members of the NASD. The principal underwriter of the Contracts is CFBDS,
Inc., 21 Milk St., Boston, MA. CFBDS, Inc. is not affiliated with the Company or
the Separate Account. However, it is currently anticipated that Travelers
Distribution LLC, an affiliated broker-dealer, may become the principal
underwriter for the Contracts during the year 2000.
Up-front compensation paid to sales representatives will not exceed 7% of the
purchase payments made under the Contracts. If asset based compensation is paid,
it will not exceed 2% of the average account value annually. From time to time,
the Company may pay or permit other promotional incentives, in cash, credit or
other compensation.

<PAGE> 31
CONFORMITY WITH STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS
The Contract is governed by the laws of the state in which it is delivered.
Where a state has not approved a contract feature or funding option, it will not
be available in that state. Any paid-up annuity, cash surrender value or death
benefits that are available under the Contract are not less than the minimum
benefits required by the statutes of the state in which the Contract is
delivered. We reserve the right to make any changes, including retroactive
changes, in the Contract to the extent that the change is required to meet the
requirements of any law or regulation issued by any governmental agency to which
the Company, the Contract or the contract owner is subject.
VOTING RIGHTS
The Company is the legal owner of the shares of the funding options. However, we
believe that when a funding option solicits proxies in conjunction with a vote
of shareholders we are required to obtain from you and from other owners
instructions on how to vote those shares. When we receive those instructions, we
will vote all of the shares we own in proportion to those instructions. This
will also include any shares we own on our own behalf. Should we determine that
we are no longer required to comply with the above, we will vote on the shares
in our own right.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND OPINIONS
There are no pending legal proceedings affecting the Separate Account or the
Company. Legal matters in connection with the federal laws and regulations
affecting the issue and sale of the contract described in this prospectus, as
well as the organization of the Company, its authority to issue variable annuity
contracts under New York law and the validity of the forms of the variable
annuity contracts under New York law, have been passed on by the General Counsel
of the Company.

THE FIXED ACCOUNT
The Fixed Account is secured by part of the general assets of the Company. The
general assets of the Company include all assets of the Company other than those
held in the separate accounts sponsored by the Company or its affiliates.
The staff of the SEC does not generally review the disclosure in the prospectus
relating to the Fixed Account. Disclosure regarding the Fixed Account and the
general account may, however, be subject to certain provisions of the federal
securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in
the prospectus.
Under the Fixed Account, the Company assumes the risk of investment gain or
loss, guarantees a specified interest rate, and guarantees a specified periodic
annuity payment. The investment gain or loss of the Separate Account or any of
the funding options does not affect the Fixed Account portion of the contract
owner's contract value, or the dollar amount of fixed annuity payments made
under any payout option.
We guarantee that, at any time, the Fixed Account contract value will not be
less than the amount of the purchase payments allocated to the Fixed Account,
plus interest credited as described below, less any applicable premium taxes or
prior surrenders.
Purchase payments allocated to the Fixed Account and any transfers made to the
Fixed Account become part of the Company's general account which supports
insurance and annuity obligations. Neither the general account nor any interest
therein is registered under, nor subject to the provisions of, the Securities
Act of 1933 or Investment Company Act of 1940. We will invest the assets of the
Fixed Account at our discretion. Investment income from such Fixed Account
assets will be allocated to us and to the Contracts participating in the Fixed
Account.
Investment income from the Fixed Account allocated to us includes compensation
for mortality and expense risks borne by us in connection with Fixed Account
Contracts. The amount of such investment income allocated to the Contracts will
vary from year to year in our sole discretion at such rate or rates as we
prospectively declare from time to time.
The initial rate for any allocations into the Fixed Account is guaranteed for
one year from the date of such allocation. Subsequent renewal rates will be
guaranteed for the calendar quarter. We also guarantee that for the life of the
Contract we will credit interest at not less than 3% per year. Any interest
credited to amounts allocated to the Fixed Account in excess of 3% per year will
be determined in our sole discretion. You assume the risk that interest credited
to the Fixed Account may not exceed the minimum guarantee of 3% for any given
year.
TRANSFERS
You may make transfers from the Fixed Account to any other available funding
option(s) twice a year during the 30 days following the semiannual anniversary
of the contract effective date. The transfers are limited to an amount of up to
15% of the Fixed Account Value on the semiannual contract effective date
anniversary. (This restriction does not apply to transfers under the Dollar Cost
Averaging Program.) Amounts previously transferred from the Fixed Account to
other funding options may not be transferred back to the Fixed Account for a
period of at least six months from the date of transfer. We reserve the right to
waive either of these restrictions.
Automated transfers from the Fixed Account to any of the funding options may
begin at any time. Automated transfers from the Fixed Account may not deplete
your Fixed Account value in a period of less than twelve months from your
enrollment in the Dollar Cost Averaging Program.

THE INSURANCE COMPANY
First Citicorp Life Insurance Company is a stock insurance company
organized under the laws of the State of New York in 1978. First Citicorp Life
is wholly owned by Citicorp Life Insurance Company, an Arizona insurer, which
in turn, is wholly owned by Citibank Delaware. Citibank Delaware is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Chicago Holdings Inc., which in turn, is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Citigroup, one of the world's largest bank holding companies.
First Citicorp Life engages in the reinsurance of credit life
insurance issued by other insurance companies. First Citicorp Life also issues
term life insurance and fixed and variable annuities on a direct basis.
STATE REGULATION. The Company is subject to the laws of the state of
Connecticut governing insurance companies and to regulation by the Insurance
Commissioner of New York, New York. An annual statement covering the operations
of the Company for the preceding year, as well as its financial condition as of
December 31 of such year, must be filed with the Commissioner in a prescribed
format on or before March 1 of each year. The Company's books and assets are
subject to review or examination by the Commissioner or his agents at all
times, and a full examination of its operations is conducted at least once
every four years.
The Company is also subject to the insurance laws and regulations of
all other states in which it is licensed to operate. However, the insurance
departments of each of these states generally apply the laws of the home state
(jurisdiction of domicile) in determining the field of permissible investments.
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT. The Separate Account meets the definition of a separate
account under the federal securities laws, and will comply with the provisions
of the 1940 Act. Additionally, the operations of the Separate Account are
subject to the provisions of New York laws.
It is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous for both
variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts, or for variable
separate accounts of different insurance companies, to invest simultaneously in
the same portfolios (called "mixed" and "shared" funding) . Currently neither
the insurance companies nor the portfolios foresee any such disadvantages to
the companies or to variable contract owners. Each portfolio's board of
trustees, directors or managers intends to monitor events in order to identify
any material conflicts between such policy owners and to determine what action,
if any, should be taken in response thereto.
PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER
CFBDS, Inc. serves as principal underwriter for the Separate Account
and the Contracts. The offering is continuous. CFBDS, Inc. is not affiliated
with the Company or the Separate Account. Its principal executive offices are
located at 21 Milk Street, Boston, MA. However, it is currently anticipated
that Travelers Distribution LLC, an affiliated broker dealer, may become the
principal underwriter for the Contracts during the year 2000.

<PAGE> 42
DISTRIBUTION AND PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT
Under the terms of the Distribution and Principal Underwriting
Agreement among Fund ABD, CFBDS and the Company, CFBDS acts as agent for the
distribution of the Contracts and as principal underwriter for the Contracts.
The Company reimburses CFBDS for certain sales and overhead expenses connected
with sales functions.
VALUATION OF ASSETS
FUNDING OPTIONS: The value of the assets of each funding option is determined
at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on each business day, unless we need to close earlier
due to an emergency. A business day is any day the New York Stock Exchange.
Each security traded on a national securities exchange is valued at the last
reported sale price on the business day. If there has been no sale on that day,
then the value of the security is taken to be the mean between the reported bid
and asked prices on the business day or on the basis of quotations received
from a reputable broker or any other recognized source.
Any security not traded on a securities exchange but traded in the
over-the-counter-market and for which market quotations are readily available
is valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices on the business
day or on the basis of quotations received from a reputable broker or any other
recognized source.
Securities traded on the over-the-counter-market and listed securities
with no reported sales are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and
asked prices or on the basis of quotations received from a reputable broker or
other recognized source.
Short-term investments for which a quoted market price is available
are valued at market. Short-term investments maturing in more than sixty days
for which there is no reliable quoted market price are valued by "marking to
market" (computing a market value based upon quotations from dealers or issuers
for securities of a similar type, quality and maturity.) "Marking to market"
takes into account unrealized appreciation or depreciation due to changes in
interest rates or other factors which would influence the current fair values
of such securities. Short-term investments maturing in sixty days or less for
which there is no reliable quoted market price are valued at amortized cost
which approximates market.
THE CONTRACT VALUE: The value of an accumulation unit on any business day is
determined by multiplying the value on the preceding business day by the net
investment factor for the valuation period just ended. The net investment
factor is used to measure the investment performance of a funding option from
one valuation period to the next. The net investment factor for a funding
option for any valuation period is equal to the sum of 1.000000 plus the net
investment rate (the gross investment rate less any applicable funding option
deductions during the valuation period relating to the mortality and expense
risk charge and the administrative expense charge). The gross investment rate
of a funding option is equal to (a) minus (b), divided by (c) where:
(a) = investment income plus capital gains and losses (whether realized or
unrealized);
(b) = any deduction for applicable taxes (presently zero); and
(c) = the value of the assets of the funding option at the beginning of the
valuation period.
2
<PAGE> 43
The gross investment rate may be either positive or negative. A
funding option's investment income includes any distribution whose ex-dividend
date occurs during the valuation period.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE. The value of the accumulation unit for each funding
option was initially established at $1.00. The value of an accumulation unit on
any business day is determined by multiplying the value on the preceding
business day by the net investment factor for the valuation period just ended.
The net investment factor is calculated for each funding option and takes into
account the investment performance, expenses and the deduction of certain
expenses.
ANNUITY UNIT VALUE. The initial Annuity Unit Value applicable to each funding
option was established at $1.00. An annuity unit value as of any business day
is equal to (a) the value of the annuity unit on the immediately preceding
business day, multiplied by (b) the corresponding net investment factor for the
valuation period just ended, divided by (c) the assumed net investment factor
for the valuation period. (For example, the assumed net investment factor based
on an annual assumed net investment rate of 3.0% for a Valuation Period of one
day is 1.000081 and, for a period of two days, is 1.000081 x 1.000081.)
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
From time to time, the Company may advertise several types of
historical performance for the Funding Options of the Separate Account. The
Company may advertise the "standardized average annual total returns" of the
Funding Option, calculated in a manner prescribed by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, as well as the "nonstandardized total return," as
described below:
STANDARDIZED METHOD. Quotations of average annual total returns are
computed according to a formula in which a hypothetical initial investment of
$1,000 is applied to the Funding Option, and then related to ending redeemable
values over one-, five-, and ten-year periods, or for a period covering the
time during which the Funding Option has been in existence, if less. If a
Funding Option has been in existence for less than one year, the "since
inception" total return performance quotations are year-to-date and are not
average annual total returns. These quotations reflect the deduction of all
recurring charges during each period (on a pro rata basis in the case of
fractional periods). The deduction for the annual administrative charge is
converted to a percentage of assets based on the actual fee collected, divided
by the average net assets for contracts sold under the Prospectus to which this
Statement of Additional Information relates. Each quotation assumes a total
redemption at the end of each period with the assessment of any applicable
withdrawal charge at that time.
NONSTANDARDIZED METHOD. Nonstandardized "total returns" will be
calculated in a similar manner based on the performance of the Funding Options
over a period of time, usually for the calendar year-to-date, and for the past
one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. Nonstandardized total returns will
not reflect the deduction of any applicable withdrawal charge or the annual
contract administrative charge, which, if reflected, would decrease the level
of performance shown. The withdrawal charge is not reflected because the
Contract is designed for long-term investment.
3
<PAGE> 44
For Funding Options that were in existence before they became
available under the Separate Account, the nonstandardized average annual total
return quotations may be accompanied by returns showing the investment
performance that such Funding Options would have achieved (reduced by the
applicable charges) had they been held under the Contract for the period
quoted. The total return quotations are based upon historical earnings and are
not necessarily representative of future performance. An Owner's Contract Value
at redemption may be more or less than original cost.
GENERAL. Within the guidelines prescribed by the SEC and the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"), performance information may
be quoted numerically or may be presented in a table, graph or other
illustration. Advertisements may include data comparing performance to
well-known indices of market performance (including, but not limited to, the
Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 Index and the S&P
400 Index, the Lehman Brothers Long T-Bond Index, the Russell 1000, 2000 and
3000 Indices, the Value Line Index, and the Morgan Stanley Capital
International's EAFE Index). Advertisements may also include published
editorial comments and performance rankings compiled by independent
organizations (including, but not limited to, Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
and Morningstar, Inc.) and publications that monitor the performance of the
Separate Account and the Funding Options.
Average annual total returns for each of the Funding Options computed
according to the standardized and nonstandardized methods for the period ending
December 31, 1999 are set forth in the following tables.

FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following description of the federal income tax consequences under
this Contract is not exhaustive and is not intended to cover all situations.
Because of the complexity of the law and the fact that the tax results will
vary according to the factual status of the individual involved, tax advice may
be needed by a person contemplating purchase of an annuity contract and by a
contract owner or beneficiary who may make elections under a contract. For
further information, please consult a qualified tax adviser.
MANDATORY DISTRIBUTIONS FOR QUALIFIED PLANS
Federal tax law requires that minimum annual distributions begin by
April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which a
participant under a qualified plan, a Section 403(b) annuity, or an IRA attains
age 70 1/2. Distributions must also begin or be continued according to required
patterns following the death of the contract owner or the annuitant.
NONQUALIFIED ANNUITY CONTRACTS
Individuals may purchase tax-deferred annuities without tax law
funding limits. The purchase payments receive no tax benefit, deduction or
deferral, but increases in the value of the contract are generally deferred
from tax until distribution. If a nonqualified annuity is owned by other than
an individual, however, (e.g., by a corporation), the increases in value
attributable to purchase payments made after February 28, 1986 are includable
in income annually. Furthermore, for contracts issued after April 22, 1987, all
deferred increases in value will be includable in the income of a contract
owner when the contract owner transfers the contract without adequate
consideration.
If two or more annuity contracts are purchased from the same insurer
within the same calendar year, distributions from any of them will be taxed
based upon the amount of income in all of the same calendar year series of
annuities. This will generally have the effect of causing taxes to be paid
sooner on the deferred gain in the contracts.
Those receiving partial distributions made before the maturity date
will generally be taxed on an income-first basis to the extent of income in the
contract. If you are exchanging another annuity contract for this annuity,
certain pre-August 14, 1982 deposits into an annuity contract that have been
placed in the contract by means of a tax-deferred exchange under Section 1035
of the Code may be withdrawn first without income tax liability. This
information on deposits must be provided to the Company by the other insurance
company at the time of the exchange. There is income in the contract generally
to the extent the cash value exceeds the investment in the contract. The
investment in the contract is equal to the amount of premiums paid less any
amount received previously which was excludable from gross income. Any direct
or indirect borrowing against the value of the contract or pledging of the
contract as security for a loan will be treated as a cash distribution under
the tax law.
The federal tax law requires that nonqualified annuity contracts meet
minimum mandatory distribution requirements upon the death of the contract
owner, including the first of joint owners. Failure to meet these requirements
will cause the surviving joint owner, or the beneficiary, to lose the tax
benefits associated with annuity contracts, i.e., primarily the tax deferral
prior to distribution. The distribution required depends, among other things,
upon whether an annuity option is elected or whether the new contract owner is
the surviving spouse. Contracts will be administered by the
7
<PAGE> 48
Company in accordance with these rules and the Company will make a notification
when payments should be commenced.
INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES
To the extent of earned income for the year and not exceeding $2,000
per individual, an individual may make deductible contributions to an
individual retirement annuity (IRA). There are certain limits on the deductible
amount based on the adjusted gross income of the individual and spouse and
based on their participation in a retirement plan. If an individual is married
and the spouse does not have earned income, the individual may establish IRAs
for the individual and spouse. Purchase payments may then be made annually into
IRAs for both spouses in the maximum amount of 100% of earned income up to a
combined limit of $4,000.
The Code provides for the purchase of a Simplified Employee Pension
(SEP) plan. A SEP is funded through an IRA with an annual employer
contribution limit of 15% of compensation up to $30,000 for each participant.
SIMPLE Plan IRA Form
Effective January 1, 1997, employers may establish a savings incentive
match plan for employees ("SIMPLE plan") under which employees can make
elective salary reduction contributions to an IRA based on a percentage of
compensation of up to $6,000. (Alternatively, the employer can establish a
SIMPLE cash or deferred arrangement under IRS Section 401(k)). Under a SIMPLE
plan IRA, the employer must either make a matching contribution of 100% on the
first 3% or 7% contribution for all eligible employees. Early withdrawals are
subject to the 10% early withdrawal penalty generally applicable to IRAs,
except that an early withdrawal by an employee under a SIMPLE plan IRA, within
the first two years of participation, shall be subject to a 25% early
withdrawal tax.
ROTH IRAS
Effective January 1, 1998, Section 408A of the Code permits certain
individuals to contribute to a Roth IRA. Eligibility to make contributions is
based upon income, and the applicable limits vary based on marital status
and/or whether the contribution is a rollover contribution from another IRA or
an annual contribution. Contributions to a Roth IRA, which are subject to
certain limitations ($2,000 per year for annual contributions), are not
deductible and must be made in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another
Roth IRA or other IRA. A conversion of a "traditional" IRA to a Roth IRA may be
subject to tax and other special rules apply. You should consult a tax adviser
before combining any converted amounts with other Roth IRA contributions,
including any other conversion amounts from other tax years.
Qualified distributions from a Roth IRA are tax-free. A qualified
distribution requires that the Roth IRA has been held for at least 5 years, and
the distribution is made after age 59 1/2, on death or disability of the owner,
or for a limited amount ($10,000) for a qualified first time home purchase for
the owner or certain relatives. Income tax and a 10% penalty tax may apply to
distributions made (1) before age 59 1/2 (subject to certain exceptions) or (2)
during five taxable years starting with the year in which the first
contribution is made to the Roth IRA.

<PAGE> 49
QUALIFIED PENSION AND PROFIT-SHARING PLANS
Under a qualified pension or profit-sharing plan, purchase payments
made by an employer are not currently taxable to the participant and increases
in the value of a contract are not subject to taxation until received by a
participant or beneficiary.
Distributions are taxable to the participant or beneficiary as
ordinary income in the year of receipt. Any distribution that is considered the
participant's "investment in the contract" is treated as a return of capital
and is not taxable. Certain lump-sum distributions may be eligible for special
forward averaging tax treatment for certain classes of individuals.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
The portion of a distribution which is taxable income to the recipient
will be subject to federal income tax withholding as follows:
1. ELIGIBLE ROLLOVER DISTRIBUTION FROM SECTION 403(b) PLANS OR ARRANGEMENTS
OR FROM QUALIFIED PENSION AND PROFIT-SHARING PLANS
There is a mandatory 20% tax withholding for plan distributions that
are eligible for rollover to an IRA or to another retirement plan but that are
not directly rolled over. A distribution made directly to a participant or
beneficiary may avoid this result if:
(a) a periodic settlement distribution is elected based upon a life or
life expectancy calculation, or
(b) a term-for-years settlement distribution is elected for a period of
ten years or more, payable at least annually, or
(c) a minimum required distribution as defined under the tax law is taken
after the attainment of the age of 70 1/2 or as otherwise required by
law.
A distribution including a rollover that is not a direct rollover will
be subject to the 20% withholding, and a 10% additional tax penalty may apply
to any amount not added back in the rollover. The 20% withholding may be
recovered when the participant or beneficiary files a personal income tax
return for the year if a rollover was completed within 60 days of receipt of
the funds, except to the extent that the participant or spousal beneficiary is
otherwise underwithheld or short on estimated taxes for that year.
2. OTHER NON-PERIODIC DISTRIBUTIONS (FULL OR PARTIAL REDEMPTIONS)
To the extent not described as requiring 20% withholding in 1 above,
the portion of a non-periodic distribution which constitutes taxable income
will be subject to federal income tax withholding, if the aggregate
distributions exceed $200 for the year, unless the recipient elects not to have
taxes withheld. If no such election is made, 10% of the taxable distribution
will be withheld as federal income tax. Election forms will be provided at the
time distributions are requested. This form of withholding applies to all
annuity programs.
9
<PAGE> 50
3. PERIODIC DISTRIBUTIONS (DISTRIBUTIONS PAYABLE OVER A PERIOD GREATER THAN
ONE YEAR)
The portion of a periodic distribution which constitutes taxable
income will be subject to federal income tax withholding under the wage
withholding tables as if the recipient were married claiming three exemptions.
A recipient may elect not to have income taxes withheld or have income taxes
withheld at a different rate by providing a completed election form. Election
forms will be provided at the time distributions are requested. This form of
withholding applies to all annuity programs. As of January 1, 2000, a recipient
receiving periodic payments (e.g., monthly or annual payments under an annuity
option) which total $14,850 or less per year, will generally be exempt from
periodic withholding.
Recipients who elect not to have withholding made are liable for
payment of federal income tax on the taxable portion of the distribution. All
recipients may also be subject to penalties under the estimated tax payment
rules if withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient to cover tax
liabilities.
Recipients who do not provide a social security number or other
taxpayer identification number will not be permitted to elect out of
withholding. Additionally, U.S citizens residing outside of the country, or
U.S. legal residents temporarily residing outside the country, are not
permitted to elect out of withholding.

These financial statements are the responsibility of First Citicorp Life
Insurance Company Variable Annuity Separate Account's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of investments owned at December 31, 1999, by correspondence with
the transfer agents of the underlying funds. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the AIM V.I. Capital

* Formerly known as Landmark Small Cap Equity VIP Fund
through February 28, 1998.
The assets of the Account are the property of the Company. The portion
of the Account's assets applicable to the contracts are not chargeable
with liabilities arising out of any other business conducted by the
Company.
In addition to the Account, a contract owner may also allocate funds to
the General Account, which is part of the Company's general account.
Amounts allocated to the General Account are credited with a guaranteed
rate of interest for one year. Because of exemptive and exclusionary
provisions, interests in the General Account have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, and the General Account has not been
registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of
1940.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed
by the Account in preparation of the financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
(a) INVESTMENT VALUATION
The investment in the fund is stated at market value, which is the net
asset value of each of the respective series as determined by the Fund
at the close of business on the last working day of the period.
(b) ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENTS
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of investments sold
is generally determined on the specific identification method.

December 31, 1999 and 1998
(c) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Company is taxed under federal law as a life insurance company. The
Account is part of the Company's total operations and is not taxed
separately. Under existing law, no taxes are payable on investment
income and realized capital gains of the Account.
(d) USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of increase and decrease
in net assets from operations during the period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
(3) CONTRACT CHARGES
Daily charges for mortality and expense risks assumed by the Company for
are assessed through the daily unit value calculation, and are
equivalent on an annual basis to 1.25% ("Base - 140 Basis Points" and
"Citi-Elite") and 0.84% ("Base - 99 Basis Points") of the net assets of
the contracts.
An annual contract fee of $30 is assessed against each contract on its
anniversary date by surrendering units. Daily charges for administrative
expenses are assessed through the daily unit value calculation, and are
equivalent on an annual basis to 0.15% of the net assets of the
contracts.
The contracts provide that in the event a contract owner withdraws all
or a portion of the contract value within five contract years, a
deferred sales charge will be assessed. The deferred sales charge is
based on a table of charges of which the maximum charge is currently 7%
of the purchase payments withdrawn. During each contract year, up to 10%
of purchase payments less any prior withdrawal of purchase payments may
be withdrawn without a deferred sales charge.
Premium taxes may be applicable, depending on the laws of various
jurisdictions. Various states and other governmental entities levy a
premium tax on annuity contracts issued by insurance companies.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
First Citicorp Life Insurance Company:
We have audited the accompanying statutory statements of admitted assets,
liabilities, and capital and surplus of First Citicorp Life Insurance
Company (a wholly owned subsidiary of Citicorp Life Insurance Company) as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related statutory statements of
operations, capital and surplus, and cash flows for each of the years in
the three-year period ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As described more fully in note 1 to the financial statements, the Company
prepared these financial statements using accounting practices prescribed
or permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of New York, which
practices differ from generally accepted accounting principles. The effect
on the financial statements of the variances between the statutory basis of
accounting and generally accepted accounting principles, although not
reasonably determinable, is presumed to be material.
In our opinion, because of the effects of the matter discussed in the
preceding paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not
present fairly, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, the financial position of First Citicorp Life Insurance Company
as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, or the results of its operations or its
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period then ended.
Also, in our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities, and
capital and surplus of First Citicorp Life Insurance Company as of December
31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1999 on the
basis of accounting as described in note 1.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information
included in the accompanying Schedule of Selected Financial Data From
Annual Statement is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is
not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the
basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

FIRST CITICORP LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Notes to Statutory Financial Statements
December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
First Citicorp Life Insurance Company (the Company) is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Citicorp Life Insurance Company (the Parent), which is a
third-tier, 78%-owned subsidiary of Citigroup. The Company issues term
life insurance, single and flexible premium deferred annuity policies,
variable deferred annuity policies, and accident and health policies.
The majority of the Company's business is generated through customers of
Citigroup and its subsidiaries. The Company also assumes credit life
insurance policies. The Company is licensed to issue insurance in the
State of New York.
The accompanying statutory financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with insurance accounting practices prescribed or permitted
by the Department of Insurance of the State of New York, which vary in
some respects from generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as
discussed more fully in note 10. Permitted statutory accounting
practices encompass all accounting practices that are not prescribed;
such practices differ from state to state, may differ from company to
company within a state, and may change in the future. In March 1998, the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) adopted the
Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles (Codification). The
Codification, if adopted by an insurer's state of domicile, will
constitute the only source of "prescribed" statutory accounting
practices. Accordingly, once implemented, the definition of what
comprises prescribed versus permitted statutory accounting practices may
result in changes to the accounting policies that insurance enterprises
use to prepare their statutory financial statements. The implementation
date is ultimately dependent on an insurer's state of domicile. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of the Codification on its
statutory financial statements. All material transactions recorded by
the Company are in conformity with current prescribed practices. The
preparation of statutory financial statements requires management to
make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The significant statutory accounting policies are as follows:
REVENUES AND EXPENSES
Life premiums are reflected as earned on the policy anniversary
date. Annuity considerations are reported as income when received.
Accident and health premiums are reported as revenue when due and
earned on a pro rata basis over the period covered by the policy.
Deferred life premiums represent modal premiums (other than
annual) to be billed in the year subsequent to the commencement of
the policy year. Uncollected premiums represent premiums due less
accident and health premiums over 90 days past due. Expenses,
including acquisition costs related to acquiring new business and
interest credited to policyholder account balances, are charged to
operations as incurred. Investment income is recognized as earned.
POLICY RESERVES
The liability for future life policy benefits is based on
statutory mortality and interest requirements without
consideration of withdrawals. The mortality table, and interest
assumptions, currently utilized is the 1980 Commissioners Standard
Ordinary (CSO) table, with interest rates ranging from 4.5% to 6%
for ordinary business, and from 5.5% to 6% for credit business.
For new business, the interest assumptions are 5.5% for credit
business, and from 4.5%
7 (Continued)
<PAGE> 108
FIRST CITICORP LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Notes to Statutory Financial Statements
December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997
to 5.25% for ordinary business. Life reserves are generally
calculated on either the net level or Commissioners Reserve
Valuation Method (CRVM) basis.
For deferred annuities, reserves are computed on the Commissioners
Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (CARVM) using appropriate
issue-year interest rates ranging from 5.0% to 6.5%.
The Company provides a liability for accident and health policies
which represents an estimate of the ultimate costs of unpaid
claims incurred through December 31 of each year. Management
believes this liability will be adequate to cover such costs;
however, the ultimate liability may be more or less than the
estimated liability.
INVESTMENTS
Bonds and short-term investments, which consist primarily of U.S.
Treasury, corporate, and mortgage-backed securities, are valued as
prescribed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners
(NAIC) and are generally carried at amortized cost. Mortgage loans
are stated at the unpaid principal balance and represent first
liens on residential properties located in the United States.
Life insurance companies are required to establish an Asset
Valuation Reserve (AVR) and an Interest Maintenance Reserve (IMR).
The AVR provides for a standardized statutory investment valuation
reserve for bonds, preferred stocks, short-term investments,
mortgage loans, common stocks, real estate, and other invested
assets and is recorded as a direct charge to surplus in accordance
with statutory accounting principles. The IMR is designed to defer
net realized capital gains and losses resulting from changes in
the level of interest rates in the market and to amortize them
into income over the remaining life of the bond or mortgage loan
sold. The IMR represents the unamortized portion not yet taken
into income.
CAPITAL GAINS AND LOSSES
The cost of investments sold is generally determined on the
first-in, first-out method and includes the effects of any related
amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Realized
investment gains and losses are reported net of income tax expense
(benefit) of ($1,252,155), $454,191, and $805,989 for the years
ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively, and are
included in the determination of net income. Realized investment
gains (losses) in 1999, 1998, and 1997 of ($2,325,432), $843,497,
and $1,496,838, respectively, were excluded from net income by a
transfer to the IMR, net of Federal income taxes.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The assets and liabilities of the separate account represent
segregated funds administered and invested by the Company for
purposes of funding variable annuity contracts for the exclusive
benefit of variable annuity contractholders. The Company receives
administrative fees from the separate accounts and retains varying
amounts of withdrawal charges to cover expenses in the event of
early withdrawals by contractholders. The amount of the asset
balance in excess of liabilities included within surplus
represents policy surrender charges which are permitted to be
recorded to surplus under statutory accounting practices. The
assets and liabilities of the separate accounts are carried at
fair value.

Notes to Statutory Financial Statements
December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997
NONADMITTED ASSETS
Assets included in the statutory statements of admitted assets,
liabilities, and capital and surplus are at "admitted asset
values." Nonadmitted assets, principally capitalized expenditures
for furniture and equipment, are excluded from the accompanying
statutory financial statements through a charge against unassigned
surplus.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Federal income taxes are charged to operations based on income
that is currently taxable. No charge to operations is made or
liability established for the tax effects of temporary differences
between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and
liabilities.
FAIR MARKET DISCLOSURES
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based
on relevant market information and information about the financial
instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount
that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's
entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Although
fair value estimates are calculated using assumptions that
management believes are appropriate, changes in assumptions could
significantly affect the estimates and such estimates should be
used with care. The following methods and assumptions were used to
estimate the fair market value of each class of financial
instrument for which it was practicable to estimate fair value:
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Fixed maturities are based on market prices obtained from a
pricing service which approximates fair value.
MORTGAGE LOANS
First mortgages on real estate are carried at the unpaid
principal balance. As discussed in note 3, the Company bears
no credit risk as all mortgage loans were purchased, with
recourse, from an affiliate. The carrying value of mortgage
loans approximates fair value.
POLICYHOLDER ACCOUNT BALANCES
The liability for policyholder account balances is related
to investment-type annuity contracts for which crediting
rates are subject to adjustment annually, based on interest
rates currently being offered for similar contracts with
maturities consistent with those remaining for the contracts
being valued. The carrying value approximates fair value at
December 31, 1999 and 1998.
CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
represent demand deposits and highly liquid short-term
investments, which include discount notes, commercial paper, and
repurchase agreements with original or remaining maturities of 90
days or less when purchased.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998 and 1997
information to conform with the 1999 presentation.
(2) REINSURANCE
Insurance is assumed from other companies in areas where the Company had
or has limited authority to write business. Normally, a commission based
on net written premiums is charged by the ceding company under the terms
of the agreement.
Effective August 1, 1998, the Company entered into an assumption
reinsurance agreement to cede its obligation for certain term life and
accident and health policies to unaffiliated third parties. The Company
recorded a pre-tax gain of $775,806 on the transaction and included this
amount in other income in the annual statement filed with regulators.
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company entered into an assumption
reinsurance agreement to cede its obligation for certain accident and
health policies to unaffiliated third parties. The Company recorded a
pre-tax gain of $56,547 on the transaction and included this amount in
other income in the annual statement filed with regulators.
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company entered into reinsurance
agreements to cede its obligation for certain term life and accident and
health policies to an unaffiliated third party. The Company recorded
$2,100,000 in ceding fees included in commissions and expense allowances
on reinsurance ceded on the statements of operations and transferred
$885,657 in policy liabilities to the reinsurer related to this
transaction.

with respect to any reinsurance ceded and would become actually liable
if the assuming company was unable to meet its obligations under the
reinsurance treaty.

Investments in mortgage loans were purchased from Citicorp Mortgage,
Inc. (CMI), an affiliate of the Company, pursuant to a Mortgage Loan
Purchase and Sale Agreement. In the event of default by the borrower,
CMI has agreed to take back the related loans at current book value.
(4) INVESTMENTS ON DEPOSIT
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, investments with a carrying value of
$573,067 and $574,609, respectively, were on deposit with the Department
of Insurance of the State of New York, as required by law, and $76,654
and $500,429, respectively, were on deposit in escrow accounts under the
terms of certain of the Company's reinsurance agreements.
(5) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Company's Federal income tax return is consolidated with its Parent.
The method of allocation is subject to written agreement with the
allocation based upon taxable income calculations. Intercompany tax
balances payable are settled annually.
Federal income tax expense on income from operations varies from amounts
computed by applying the current federal corporate income tax rate to
income (loss) from operations before Federal income tax expense and net
realized capital gains. The reasons for these differences, and the tax
effects thereof, are as follows:

(6) RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has entered into various service agreements with the Parent
and other affiliates which cover management, investment, and information
processing services. Expenses incurred under such agreements were
$5,080,680, $5,432,438, and $3,462,644 in 1999, 1998, and 1997,
respectively.
The Company occupies certain facilities which are leased by an
affiliate. The Company is allocated a portion of the lease expense by
the affiliate. Allocated rent expense totaled $50,491, $341,222, and
$260,401 in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.
The Company utilizes the services of Citicorp Insurance Services, Inc.
Employees of this company are eligible to participate in defined benefit
plans provided by Citicorp. Charges for these services are based on the
actual salary and benefit costs of employees providing service to the
Company. Included in these charges are costs associated with Citicorp's
benefit plans.
(7) DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
A New York domestic life insurance company shall not distribute a
dividend to its stockholders unless a notice of its intention and the
amount thereof has been filed with the Superintendent of Insurance not
less than 30 days in advance of such declaration. Such dividends may not
exceed the lessor of 10% of surplus as of December 31 of the preceding
year or 100% of net investment income, subject to certain adjustments,
of the preceding year. The Company did not pay a dividend in 1999, 1998,
or 1997.
(8) RISK-BASED CAPITAL
The insurance departments of various states, including the Company's
domiciliary state of New York, impose risk-based capital (RBC)
requirements on insurance enterprises. The RBC calculation serves as a
benchmark for the regulation of life insurance companies by state
insurance regulators. The requirements apply various weighted factors to
financial balances or activity levels based on their perceived degree of
risk.
The RBC guidelines define specific capital levels where action by the
Company or regulatory intervention is required based on the ratio of a
Company's actual total adjusted capital (sum of capital and surplus and
asset valuation reserve) to control levels determined by the RBC
formula. At December 31, 1999, the Company's total adjusted capital
exceeded all regulatory requirements, thus no action by the Company or
its regulators is required.
(9) CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in various litigation arising in the ordinary
course of operations. Management is of the opinion, after reviewing
these matters with legal counsel, that the ultimate liability, if any,
resulting from any or all of the above matters would not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

(10) DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING
PRINCIPLES AND STATUTORY ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
Statutory accounting practices differ in some respects from generally
accepted accounting principles. Under generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP), the following applies:
(a) The liability for future policy benefits is computed using the
rule-of-78s and pro rata methods.
(b) Life premiums are reflected as earned when due. Annuity
considerations and other fund deposits are reflected as deposits
rather than revenue.
(c) Acquisition costs are capitalized and amortized generally over the
premium paying period for individual life contracts in relation to
the estimated present value of gross profits of the underlying
business for interest-sensitive life and investment contracts.
(d) Deferred income taxes are provided for the tax effects of
temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax
bases of assets and liabilities.
(e) Nonadmitted assets, less applicable allowance accounts, are
restored to the financial statements.
(f) Asset valuation and interest maintenance reserves are not
provided.
(g) Realized investment gains (losses) resulting from changes in
interest rates are recognized when the related security is sold.
(h) Debt securities are classified into one of three categories: held
to maturity, trading, or available for sale. Held-to-maturity
securities are carried at amortized cost. Trading securities are
reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included
in earnings. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair
value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and
reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of
tax.
(i) Reinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, and
reserves would be presented on a gross basis consistent with terms
of the reinsurance contracts.
(j) Comprehensive income disclosures are included.
(k) Costs of providing postretirement benefits other than pensions are
calculated without regard to active non-vested employees.
The statutory financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from differences between statutory accounting
practices and GAAP.

ITEM 27. NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS
As of December 31, 1999, there were 1,445 contract owners.
ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION
The Bylaws of First Citicorp Life Insurance Company provide in Article
VIII as follows:
(a) The Corporation shall indemnify any person made a party to an
action or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact that he, his testator or
intestate, is or was a director or officer or employee of the Corporation
against the reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and
necessarily incurred by him in connection with the defense of such action or
proceeding, or in connection with an appeal therein, except in relation to
matters as to which such person is adjudged to have breached his duty to the
Corporation; and
(b) The Corporation shall indemnify any person made, or
threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding other than one by or
in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgement in its favor, whether
civil or criminal, including an action by or in the right of any other
corporation of any type or kind domestic or foreign, which any director or
officer or employee of the Corporation served in any capacity at the request of
the Corporation, by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate, was
a director or officer or employee of the Corporation, or served such other
corporation in any capacity, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in
settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and
necessarily incurred as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal
therein, if such person acted in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably
believed to be in the best interests of the Corporation and, in criminal
actions, or proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that
his conduct was unlawful.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, offi-cers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforce-able. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemni-fication by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
